What is the difference between Bouw Botje and Ledger Botje?
Both are MCP integrations by Industrial IT, but for a different Exact product:
- Bouw Botje connects to Exact Online Construction (formerly Bouw7): projects, estimates, labour hours, instalment invoicing, purchasing and subcontracting.
- Ledger Botje connects to general Exact Online, such as accounting, wholesale and manufacturing.
If you work with Exact Online Construction, Bouw Botje is the right choice.
